Have you ever thought about what being a hacker really entails? As someone who spends a lot of time online, it's a question that often crosses my mind. However, the reality of hacking is far more frightening than I ever anticipated. The wild hacking scenarios depicted in Watch_Dogs, where you can manipulate everything from phones to cars and traffic lights, are based on actual practices, and that's just the tip of the iceberg! In this episode, we invited two expert hackers to reveal how they infiltrate a major media company and extract data from their servers—yes, for real. This eye-opening experience changed my entire perspective on the internet and the world of hacking.
